Today was a jampacked day. We started early with breakfast at Cafe de Raiz. Rachael ordered her daily serving of chilaquiles and I ordered huevos huastecos.

One of the many advantages of working remotely is that I can travel and work, so on days where Rachael wants to go on outings to shops and such, I can get some work done and then join her in … Continue reading Day 3 in Mexico City: Coworking and wandering

For example, last night, Rebecca and I took the subway out to Coney Island to see a minor-league baseball game and ride roller coasters. Rebecca's friend got us all tickets for the game and we … Continue reading Italian Ladies Heritage Night and Roller Coaster
